answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2016 answer text <p>As the honourable Member for Rotherham will recall, during the passage of the Serious Crime Bill in the last session of Parliament, the previous Government made a commitment to undertake a public consultation on the options for reporting child abuse and to lay a report before Parliament on the outcome of the consultation within 18 months of Royal Assent of the Serious Crime Act (i.e. by September 2016). This commitment was extended in March 2015, under the Government’s Tackling Child Sexual Exploitation Report, to consult on options for imposing sanctions for deliberate or reckless failures to take appropriate action in relation to child abuse or neglect, where it is a professional responsibility to do so.</p><p>The Government will launch its consultation exercise in Spring 2016, to run for twelve weeks and will then consider carefully the need for any further statutory measures in the light of responses. This will enable the Government to lay proposals before Parliament by September 2016, as it has committed to do.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 09/02/2016 09:17:29 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

tabling member constituency	Rotherham
tabling member printed	Sarah Champion
uin	22990
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2016 answer text <p>Child Abduction Warning Notices are currently used by the police as a deterrent against those thought to be grooming children, where the child is under the age of 16 if living at home, or under the age of 18 if living in the care of a local authority. These notices are a useful tool for the police and complement the strong new powers to protect the vulnerable from sexual predators that we introduced in the Serious Crime Act 2015. For example, breach of an Abduction Notice can become grounds for the issuing of a Sexual Risk Order.</p><p>There is no statutory or other legislative provision dealing specifically with the issue of Child Abduction Warning Notices; the Notices are part of an administrative process. Breach of a Notice is not a criminal offence and as such the police do not regularly record the number of Child Abduction Warning Notices issued.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 26/01/2016 17:28:59 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
